Effects of Combinations of α-Lactobacillus sp. and Curcuma longa Flour on Production, Egg Quality, and Intestinal Profile of Mojosari Ducks

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of added dietary turmeric flour and probiotics on gut characteristics and production performance of Mojosari ducks. The turmeric consisted bioactive substances, while Lactobacillus sp. produced lactic acid bacteria. The 280 laying ducks used were Mojosari ducks aged 20-28 weeks reared for eight weeks on the experimental diet. The Curcuma longa flour used was produced by Balai Materia Medika, Batu District and the liquid probiotics used contained Lactobacillus sp. bacteria in concentration of 1.4 x 10 10 CFU/ml. A completely randomized design with six treatments and four replications was employed, with each experimental unit consisting of eight Mojosari ducks. The treatments consisted of T 0 = basal diet, T 1 = basal diet + 0.2% turmeric, T 2 = basal diet + 0.8% turmeric, T 3 = basal diet + 0.2% turmeric + 0.1% probiotics, T 4 = basal diet + turmeric 0.8% + 0.6% probiotics, and T 5 = basal diet + bacitracin 0.01%. Results were analysed via one-way ANOVA and if a significant effect (p ≤ 0.05) was identified, least significant difference testing was then applied. The effect of T 4 on egg production performance, feed conversion and egg weight were highly significant (p≤ 0.01) and from the results it was concluded that the best treatment was T 4 , namely basal dieting with the addition of 0.8% turmeric and 0.6% probiotics.

Effects of the Encapsulation of Liquid Smoke on Growth Performance, Intestinal Profile, and Microbial Profile of Broiler Chickens

“…intEStinAl PRofilE Specimens preparation:The intestinal profile was recorded by following protocol from Ardiansyah et al (2022) first specimens were cut approximately 2 mm at duodenum section. After carefully evaluation, the specimens were immediately stored at formulated liquid consisted 70,80,90% of alcohol.…”

“…I ndonesia production of poultry reached 5 million tonnes / year in Indonesia (Adli, 2021). Indonesia has imposed a ban on the use of antibiotics growth promoters (AGPs) on early January 2018 (Ardiansyah et al, 2022). Several products were listed as an antibiotics growth promoters such as of using zinc bacitracin, penicillin, tylosin, and kanamycin.…”

“…As alternatives to synthetic antibiotics, bio-active substances in plants that are sources of natural antibiotics have received attention from both the public and researchers. Plant extracts, phytogenic additives, essential oils, prebiotics and probiotics have been extensively studied as replacements for synthetic antibiotics and have been tested to identify the best options (Ardiansyah et al, 2022). To enhance the liquid smoke there were method called encapsulation.…”

The Effects of Cage Location on Hy-Line Laying Hens Growth Performance, Microclimate, NH3 and CO2 Concentration, and Dust Particle

“…Feed egg ration was expressed by dividing amount of feed given by the total number collection of the eggs. In the end, egg mas was recorded by percentage of egg production multiple with mean egg weight (g) in that day following (Adli 2021;Ardiansyah et al, 2022).…”

An Early Screening of Turmeric as an Antibiotic Growth Promoter Replacement and its Effects on the Reproductive Organs of Mojosari Ducks

“…Using turmeric as an additive has an important issue and related to its hormonal profile of poultry (Urom et al, 2018;Mazidda et al, 2020). Thus, herbal plants can improve the digestive tract, increase digestibility for weight gain, immunity, disease prevention, and decrease mortality and reproductive performance (Ardiansyah et al, 2022). Therefore, this study aimed to determine the bioactive compound of turmeric and its effects on the reproductive organs of Mojosari ducks.…”
